ORDER
The petitioner seeks for cancellation of the sale deed standing in the name of the fourth respondent dated 07.11.2024.
2. The law is now well settled that the Registration Department does not have the power to cancel the registered document. To prove that the sale deed dated 07.11.2024 bearing Document No.7190/2024 has been fraudulently obtained, oral and documentary evidence is required. Only a competent Civil Court can adjudicate the prayer for cancellation of the sale deed dated 07.11.2024 standing in the name of the fourth respondent. Therefore, this Court is of the considered view that the prayer sought for in this writ petition cannot be entertained by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The only remedy available to the petitioner to cancel the sale deed standing in the name of the fourth respondent is to approach the competent Civil Court.
